With neutral differential equations, any lack of smoothness in initial conditions is not damped and so they have proven to be difficult to solve. Until now, there has been little information to help with this problem. Oscillation Theory for Neutral Differential Equations with Delay fills a vacuum in qualitative theory of functional differential equations of neutral type. With much of the... Read more
